Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Ahmed bin Ali Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' - Takumi Minamino needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 40' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 44' - Miki Yamane is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Ayase Ueda leaves to be changed by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
